I recently started using JRebel for development, but initially I had a bit of trouble getting it to gel with the App Engine / Eclipse setup. After an email or two with the guys at Zero Turnaround I finally got it to work, and it's well worth the effort. Here is a guide for what you need to do...

I'm hoping the team at Zero Turnaround turn their attention to Android's Dalvik VM next. JRebel would be of HUGE benefit to developing Android apps and I'm sure with the amount of Android developers out there at the moment it would be a big money spinner for them too.

I started this process, but the whole stuff changed now. As of this date the process is:1. Install JRebel Eclipse plugin through Help/Eclipse Marketplace2. Right click project and JRebel/Add JRebel nature3. Start and accept JRebel agent confirmation
